DivX skipping frames when in fullscreen

[cdechery]

I downloaded a DVD-Rip (with DivX), VEEEEEEEERY good quality.

It plays ok, sound good, etc.

But when I use full screen it gets kinda skippy, not slow, but skipping frames, like there was some kinda of effect. It only occurs in full screen. MPEG and regular AVI files playes perfect in fullscreen, and I already downloaded the latest codec.

Any hints?

Disable running programs in background, defrag, overclock. etc.

DivX are pretty CPU intensive and an improperly configured pc couple very easily drop frames at full screen.

What are your pc specs?

Also hit ctrl+alt+delete and note the cpu percentage being used while in full screen, if it is hitting 99 to 100% consistently than you need a more powerful pc to play this back.

just some thoughts.
